@@sosobel5843yeah but on mig 29s and Su27s it will switch your radar to IRST while you are guiding an r-27ER which you can imagine is *slightly* inconvenient
@@patriktoth6258 Totally, the 530 D is pretty bad without it. But even with a sparrow, I always switched radar modes after launching, the hit rate was so much higher that way.
One thing I would consider is using missile spectator view to check if your missile is still tracking. I use this all the time with long range r27 or R530D shots because you can't see what your missile is doing after the motor burns out. This can help you save a missile instead of blindly firing one again.
it’s funny people say flight performance doesn’t matter in top tier but then complain that the Gripen is overpowered because of its flight performance. It’s a spectrum, you could fly Russian jets that are bricks but have amazing missiles or the Gripen with amazing performance with decent missiles, with everything else in between.
I wouldn't say 9Ms are just "decent". 9Ms are way more annoying to deal with than R-73s imo. It's not enough to flare a 9M, you also have to change directions while you keep dropping flares. Things like the Gripen and the F-15 can deal with that, because of the insane amount of countermeasures they carry paired with great flight performance, but many other planes that 9Ms can meet aren't so fortunate though. For example, the F-16As have the flight performance, but I sure do not feel comfortable with 60 flares whenever a plane with 9Ms is around.
Being the devils advocate for a second, having only Flight performance at 12.3-12.7 isn't going to get you anywhere when you have to face whopping loadouts of 6x 9Ms + HMD or 4x R73s + 6x 27ERs.

Bro, I've recentrly seen your player card stats. Don't even try to apologize for having a bad day, it happens. If I could have your skills on your bad day I would be 10x better already.

bro apologizes for not playing like a tweaking heroin racoon once 💀 man it's okay not to be the best all the time. That's what most of us play like anyways
I'm happy Italy has a good top tier other than the F-16. Sad it's such a baby plane, also sad I have to go through 3 F-104s to get to it, or grind out with a premium F-104.
Hey Defyn, I've been watching for a while to try improve my Air RB performance, and would love to see you fly out the Spitfire MK24, and get your opinion on its BR rating. It would also be nice if gaijin gave the Griffin 61 its real Horsepower at 2000hp at 7000ft.
About your clip reviews, can I send clips of fights that I should had lost but I won because the enemy fucked up to see what the enemy did wrong, Instead of traditional "I send the clip because I died and I don't know what I did wrong"?
I can’t speak for everyone but I don’t mind if you upload “bad” gameplay, you don’t need to be on 100% every time and those bad games have lessons to learn anyhow
I'm guessing you're getting this a lot, but why do you use ground targets belts so often ? aren't they supposed to be virtually useless against planes ?
I can tell that you were playing a bit worse because you were looking around more frantically and flaring more, I do the same thing, dont worry about it, the content is perfect.
